• With a new familiarity and a flesh-creeping homeliness entirely of this unreal, materialistic world, where all sentiment is coarsely manufactured and advertised in colossal sickly captions, disguised for the sweet tooth of a monstrous baby called the Public, the family as it is, broken up on all hands by the agency of feminist and economic propaganda, reconstitutes itself in the image of the state.

• Deja que otros lleven vidas pequeñas, pero no tú. Deja que otros discutan por cosas pequeñas, que se quejen de lo que podría haber sido, pero no tú. Deja que otros lloren por pequeñas heridas, déjalos que se desanimen, déjalos que sean vengativos y vengativos, pero no tú. Deja que otros dejen su futuro en manos de otros, deja que se vuelvan materialistas y vacíos, pero no tú. Deja que otros se vuelvan desagradecidos y dejen de rezar, ¡pero no tú! Deja que otros se rindan, ¡pero no tú! Porque tú sabes en quién crees y sabes que Él siempre puede. Ese eres tú.

• Hoy en día, el mundo es cada vez más materialista y la humanidad alcanza el cenit del progreso exterior, impulsada por un deseo insaciable de poder y de vastas posesiones. Sin embargo, con este vano afán de perfección en un mundo donde todo es relativo, se alejan aún más de la paz interior y de la felicidad de la mente.

• It is in a way a mystery that, instead of demanding that their governments give primary attention to their own needs and aspirations, most of the citizens of big counties-those, that is, that have the status of being "powers" in the world-far from being self-centered or materialistic as they are commonly credited with being, the ordinary citizen and his elected representative all too often turn out to be romantics, ready and eager to sacrifice programs of health, education and welfare for the power and pride of the nation.

• I think the idea of being on stage and playing for people, and being able to inject a little bit of joy into their lives is a really exciting concept for me. That's definitely why I make music. It's never been for any kind of materialistic reasons, so that thought of being able to be up on stage, and being able to give something to someone in a moment of need for them - that gets me up in the morning; that really excites me.

• Ante nuestros ojos tenemos los resultados de ideologías como el marxismo, el nazismo y el fascismo, y también de mitos como la superioridad racial, el nacionalismo y el exclusivismo étnico. No menos perniciosos, aunque no siempre tan evidentes, son los efectos del consumismo materialista, en el que la exaltación del individuo y la satisfacción egoísta de las aspiraciones personales se convierten en el objetivo último de la vida. En esta perspectiva, los efectos negativos sobre los demás se consideran completamente irrelevantes.

• This is why moral uneasiness is destined to become even more acute. It is obvious that a fundamental defect, or rather a series of defects, indeed a defective machinery is at the root of contemporary economics and materialistic civilization, which does not allow the human family to break free from such radically unjust situations.

• Algunos dicen que no deberías querer dinero en absoluto porque el deseo de dinero es materialista y no Espiritual. Pero queremos que recuerden que están aquí en este mundo físico donde el Espíritu se ha materializado. No podéis separaros del aspecto de vosotros mismos que es Espiritual, y mientras estéis aquí en estos cuerpos no podéis separaros de lo que es físico o material. Todas las cosas magníficas de naturaleza física que os rodean son de naturaleza espiritual.

• Estados Unidos... presenta su modo de vida como el ideal para todas las naciones y trata de imponer a los demás su propio nivel de vida, que muchos consideran ridícula e insalubremente elevado, en parte, por supuesto, en busca de mercados. Si se dijera abiertamente que se trata sólo de una búsqueda de mercados, sería una cosa, pero no es así; mediante una tremenda campaña de propaganda, esta concepción materialista se presenta como un ideal, como algo que forma parte de la libertad y, sobre todo, como una forma de felicidad.

• [Los universitarios] odiaban la hipocresía de la sociedad adulta, la rigidez de sus instituciones políticas, la impersonalidad de sus burocracias. Pretendían crear una sociedad que antepusiera los valores humanos a los materialistas, que tuviera un poco menos de cabeza y un poco más de corazón, que se dejara dominar por el interés propio y amara más al prójimo. Y estaban convencidos de que la protesta grupal de carácter militante haría avanzar esos objetivos.

• In an overly materialistic world, prosperity is unfortunately and invariably associated with hoards of money and countless possessions. Yet to the truly prosperous people of this world, prosperity is prosperity in its purest and original sense. Prosperity comes from the Latin word "spes", which means "hope and vigor." To the truly prosperous person, being prosperous means being positive and happy in the moment.
